The orange blossoms have made
their appearance at the home of our
worthy neighbor, Mrs, Parker, who,
ou Sabbath eve., Nov. 27th, gave her
daughter in marriage to Mr. Lowell
Gates; ceremony by Rev. Norris. We
wish the young couple happy and
prosperous voyage down the river of
life, with just enough clouds to make
glorious sunset.
The High School began the winter
term on November 2Sth, with an at
tendance of twenty-nine students.
The Ladies' Aid Society served Oys-
ters at the Town Hall on Thursday
evening last. We hear the attendance
was not large.
We learn that Mr.. Burton Peck is
quite feeble at his home, one mile east
of the Center, being i sufferer from
that dread disease, diabetes
The entertainment given in the
Town Hall, Friday Eve Dee. End, ky
members of the Raveana and Feeder
Dam Universalist Sabbath Schools,
was very enjoyable event. The ex
ercises We're we'll rendered, some of
which admit of special mention. john
Maynard, by Miss Anna Carts, was
given in a nnasterly manner, display
ing great skill in both gesture and de-
livery. Miss Ella Pitkin's Brisba,
though not admitting of so much or
atorical power, was especially we'll
presented. Clifford Jones' German
selection, Sacre Setting the Hen, and
Artie Pitkin's Irishman's Story, hro't
down the house. The brogue was
good, and the subjects very funny.
1t pleased us very much to hear little
Nina King recite Nobody's Child.
This little lady is improving very fast
iii elocutionary powers, and er speak
ing is remarkable for one of her years.
One of the very finest of the evening
was Jessie Jones Last Hymn, which
displayed rare elOcutionary and mu.
sical powers combined. THE musical
part OF the program was good, espe-
cially the instrumental selections by
Prof Seibel and the Weaver children
The singing by Mr. Colts two little
girls was pronounced one of the finest
exercises possible for children of so
few years. Taking il all in all, the
entertainment was complete success,
and netted the Feeder Dam Sunday
School a nice profit.
Farmers Club elected new officers
on last Wednesday eve., as follows
President, E. G. Bshcock; Vice Pres,
Cassius Proctori Sec., Miss Bertha
Stockwell; Treas, q. w. Dickinson
Marshal, z. e. Hawley; Janitor, JOSH

If there il any public pest of society
it is that depraved specimen of hu
mauity who attends every free enter
tsinment and makes himself Odious
by his ungentlemauly conduct. He
will neither give any attention to the
performances nor let any one else do
so. When his fruitful (?) brain can
no longer devise any wnFse mischief,
he fills his pockets with corn and de
liberately fires it at the heads of the
sOn to their no small annoy
ance, especially the bald headed peO-
pie. Sometimes these tiends are full
grown, and evidently have not profit
ed from the lessons learned at meth |
er's knee," and should have had more |
lessons across it given with the bottom |
Of slipper. With no fear of police
men, they have full sway in the coun-
try, and make it quite profession.
We hope the time may soon come
when they will be dealt with the same |
4s other disturbers of the peace, and
bur Farmers Club be made thereby
more pleasant and profitable to all, as
we'll as TO PHOEBE
